The 2011 season is long gone and it's time to enjoy the ride all the way to next year spring training.

I will not give any over-analyzed forecasts, however, just for a fun prediction, Albert Pujols will stay with his St. Louis Cardinals; Carlos Beltran with the San Francisco Giants and who knows if Jose Reyes will stay with he New York Mets. 

The Miami Marlins will make any story why they are cash-strapped and the New York Yankees will over spend for any names that can bring them a world championship again.

This time of almost the end of the year is also the perfect moment for the 2011 Latino Awards in the major leagues. I respect other opinions. Here are my 2011 winners:
